Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work?

Hey Thiel CS3.5 owners - Thiel WILL repair them for $300 apiece plus shipping, etc. I guess their move made them slow in replying. For me that's good news because I feel the speakers are worth the investment I've already made.

^Good to know! But, $300 each is a bit steep.
Though it wasn't advertised policy, if the repairs weren't due to abuse, IME Thiel used to do repairs gratis, and only charged a house discounted shipping cost one(!) way, even for items that were past the generous 10 year warranty.
Man, I really miss Jim, Shari, Gary and the rest of the gang!

The Mac's with their autoformers won't double down into the 3.6's rather challenging load. Not what I would recommend."

I thought that was the whole point of using autoformers. The amp sees a consistent load.

As I mentioned, I like these speakers enough to warrant the $600 investment in having them repaired. I paid $800 used, so a total of $1400 for the pair strikes me as a reasonably justifiable expenditure. (Reasonable - ha!) I have since seen them less expensive on the "Gon and elsewhere, but mine were in near perfect condition - the grills were re-done a year before I purchased them. They're my favorites so far...quite amazing. My Pass X150.5 is a good match - I just picked up an Audio Research SS Preamp with balanced connections and I can't wait to see what happens.

zd542, Typically as a speakers impedance changes so does it's sensitivity. The Mac's use of autoformers compromises the advantages of quality high current ss amplifiers to maintain linear frequency response.
